Look
Dust off your Walkman and fire up that Motorola Razr V3, millennials, because this year’s big Y2K nostalgia movie is finally streaming on Disney+. After a good run at the box office, Stranger Friday has been considered a success by fans and critics alike, even eclipsing the original.
So what did Disney get right? Reuniting Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as the iconic mother-daughter duo in this sequel to the 2003 body-swap comedy is the main reason it’s one of the standout new movies on Disney+. Beyond that, the film offers a big dose of cheesy humor and plenty of references for longtime fans.

Oh, and then there was that little-known movie about a k-pop group that hunts demons. What was his name again…
I’m kidding, I’m kidding. It is practically impossible for in your dreamsNetflix’s latest animated film, will come close to matching the cultural phenomenon known as Kpop Demon Hunters. However, the story of brothers who travel to the world of dreams to locate Sandman, with the aim of granting them their wish to save their parents’ marriage, seems hilarious.

Malice (Prime Video)
Look

Malice It follows Duchovny’s wealthy character, Jamie, who hires a nanny, Adam from Whitehall, but not everything is as it seems because it soon becomes clear that Adam’s intentions might not be pure.
Set in picturesque locations like Greece and London, Jamie follows Adam and his family, plotting something. If you’re in the mood for a fun and twisted Amazon TV original, this one has you covered this weekend. – Lucy Buglass, Senior Entertainment Writer

You’re working to secure a future for your company during a business boom, but basically everyone you come into contact with is your natural enemies.
Season 2 ramps up the pressure on Norris, with his girlfriend Cami Miller (Demi Moore) and her family pushing him to the edge. Mooreheads will be pleased to know that she has a much bigger role this time around, returning to us after her Oscar nomination for The substance.
If there’s one thing Sheridan doesn’t skimp on, it’s the messy drama. In fact, I would go so far as to say that landman He’s the messiest of the group, and if Cami is just getting angry, I’d save your popcorn now. – Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
Eddington (HBO Max)
Look

With a score of 68% on Rotten Tomatoes, Edington Isn’t it Aster’s highest rated movie (that one is still Hereditary) but, if you’re a fan of his work in general, you should enjoy this one. – pound
Palm Royale season 2 (Apple TV)
Look
Ready to return to the high society of the 1960s in Palm Beach, Florida? Great, because the Apple TV mystery series Royal Palm has returned with more scandalous intrigue and over-the-top drama than many long-running soap operas.
Described by its stars as Hitchcock meets Hauntedstars Kristen Wiig as socialite Maxine Delacourt, who is determined to secure a spot in the most exclusive club in America. Picking up directly after Season 1’s shocking cliffhanger, Season 2 finds Maxine sidelined after that very public meltdown at the Beach Ball.
While the Apple TV Original hasn’t been a success, it has built a dedicated audience who are sure to be delighted with this new season: it’s more of the same, but it manages to raise the stakes in new and exciting ways. Pay attention to the opening scene, which pays homage to ’60s Hollywood icons in a way that will have you cheering for Ricky Martin’s return. – AS
The Seduction (HBO Max)
Look
I didn’t think I needed a prequel series to dangerous relationships completely in French, but HBO Max The seduction He quickly proved me wrong (read my The seduction check to find out why).
In cinematic terms, we’re seeing the rise of a younger Marchioness Isabelle de Merteuil (originally played by Glenn Close, now played by Anamaria Vartolomei). Together with their enemy Rosemonde (Diane Kruger), the pair embark on their rise to the top of the promiscuous French elite.
There’s as much explicit sex and scandal as you can imagine, but it’s actually the least interesting part of the six-episode series. Instead, it’s the calm, calculated drama that really sings. Two women operating in a man’s world is never an easy sell, but the man leads as mere henchmen in the bigger picture. It’s like an endless game of chess, only the pieces are naked. – joint venture
